DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Direct Steering and Intimate Connection
The Joystick V2 prioritizes simplicity to offer a very direct connection with the kite. On the foil and in freeride, you'll feel every response from the kite without latency, which facilitates fine corrections and makes riding more intuitive.
Safety Designed for Use
The ISO-certified SureShot Click-In system ensures quick release and smooth, reliable re-arming. Combined with AutoUnswivel automatic untwisting, you gain peace of mind during rotations and technical situations.
Longer Depower for Smooth Power Management
Infinite Throw technology extends the depower stroke by approximately 50% compared to the previous version. On the water, this translates into an increased ability to modulate the kite's power, which is valuable in foil when wind variations are significant.
Comfort and Ergonomics for Long Sessions
The MotoPlush EVA grip offers a soft touch and good grip while limiting hand fatigue. The thin diameter promotes a precise grip, suitable for frequent adjustments and technical maneuvers.
Balanced Lightness and Durability
Designed with a lightweight construction and FlyTech Variable Lines, the Joystick V2 reduces weight without sacrificing strength. The result: a reactive, durable bar adapted to the demands of foil and freeride.
Compatibility and Ready-to-Ride Pack
Supplied with 18 m lines and 4 m extensions, the bar is compatible with main Slingshot kites (Machine, Ghost, SST, Code, RPX) and many other brands. The included leash and loop allow you to go riding quickly.
